This started happening recently and it's causing me to have to quit without saving and come back.

Every time I use the design tool (Palette thing) nothing happens, as if it's taking an extremely long time to load but it never actually does. It happened in CAS, you know when you click the design tool all the other things slide off the screen and then the deign options show, well that never actually happens. There is nothing on the screen, nothing comes up. My sim is just standing there blinking and waving their arms around. It won't let me click on anything else but the game options (Save, quit, options, Main Menu, etc.) I can still turn my sim around and if there is nothing wrong but nothing will come up.

Same thing in build mode. I can't design anything, because if I do I'll have to quit without saving. It won't let me do ANYTHING but quit. This just started happening, I've never had this happen.

I haven't downloaded anything new or anything. It worked fine at first but now. UGH. This is driving me crazy, I need my furniture to match!

I had this happen a few times in my game but it cleared up on its own so I really don't know what to suggest.

Have you tried running the game with no CC to see if that makes any difference?
